Blue Flowers

-
I've had a busy weekend creating my first set of samples as part of the Hunkydory For The Love of Stamps Design Team. I've had so much fun with these gorgeous stamps and can't wait to share my samples once the stamps are released!
Today I'm sharing a relatively simple stamped card in colours that I don't tend to use - sky blue and white.




I started by stamping the corners from Heartfelt Creations' Berry Blossoms stamp set onto a rectangle of white card. I coloured these in using coloured pencils. I matted this layer onto a piece of blue Core'dinations cardstock and stuck this onto the white 5x7 inch card blank. I die cut an oval in white using one of Sue Wilson's double pierced ovals, and stamped the flourish stamp (from the same set) onto this. This was also coloured in using similar tones to the other flowers. I stamped my sentiment onto the same piece then matted the white oval onto a blue oval (hand cut). I lightly inked the edges of the blue oval using Distress Inks. I embellished the card using hand coloured flowers (stamped using the Berry Blossoms stamp set), stamped and coloured leaves and white die cut flourishes. Like usual, the finishing touches were some silver glitter glue to the centres of the flowers. I'm not a huge fan of loose glitter as it gets everywhere, so glitter glue has to be one of my favourite products!




I will be entering this one into the following challenges:

    This is such a great layout! I love the pop of blue against the white background. The pierced detail is a great finishing touch.

Crafty Catz Challenge - One For The Girls

Hello all, hope you are well. As some of you may know, I was GDT for Crafty Catz Challenge for January. But they have asked me to stay on as part of their design team...and of course I said yes! We have a new challenge for you today - it is anything goes with the optional theme of "one for the girls". This week Star Stamps is sponsoring us, and they kindly gave us some beautiful images to play with. On my card I have used the Belle Chibi digi stamp. The digi stamp was printed onto Canson "C" à grain paper (it has a bit of a "tooth" to it so is better for use with coloured pencils than a super smooth card) and I coloured the image in using my Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils. I really enjoyed colouring this one in - I'm pretty happy with how the pleats turned out but I definitely need to practice a bit more! I inked around the edges to give more of a vintage look. The papers are from different pads picked up cheaply (some are some old Paperma...

Crafty Catz Challenge - Black and White

Our new challenge starts today at Crafty Catz , and this week we are anything goes with the optional theme of Black and White. Our generous sponsor is Crafty Sentiments. I had a bit of a play for the first time with my new Scan n Cut CM900 when I was making this card. I cut some of the mats and layers out on the machine, as well as the flowers and leaves. I must say I am impressed with it so far! The centre die is Sue Wilson's Oslo die, with her Happy Birthday Mini Expressions die in the middle. I cut the sentiment 3 times in black card and layered them up to make it more 3D. I have also used Sue Wilson's Diamond Squares background and the Jubilee Petite Striplet for the decorative edges. Some Cosmic Shimmer aurora twinkles glitter glue and some Nuvo oyster white pearl drops were added to finish. I would like to enter this one into the following challenges: Lemon Shortbread #68 anything goes Crafty Gals Corner #166 anything goes Crafting From The H...

Today I'm sharing my samples made using the brand new Hunkydory Prism watercolour pencils. I had such fun working with these pencils as I'd not used watercolour pencils in quite a long time, and these pencils were just a joy to use. This card uses one of the new FTLOS watercolour wonders stamp sets as well as some of the older FTLOS stamp sets for the butterflies and bees. I've also used one of the watercolour wonders stamp sets for this easel card I've used masking with one of the new watercolour wonders stamp sets to create this DL card. This card uses the FTLOS Fly Away With Me stamp set. I've used the FTLOS Up, Up and Away stamp set on this CAS card.   I've stamped the FTLOS Lovely Lilies onto kraft card for this card. This card has been made using the FTLOS Forget Me Nots stamps and the Blossoming Blues stamp set (for the butterflies).  I've heat embossed the Forget Me Not stamps onto kraft card wi...
